What We All Saw

I loved everything about this book – its humour, its horror, its sublime storytelling. What We All Saw honours the ties of childhood friendship, with shades of Stephen King’s “The Body” (Stand By Me) and the nostalgic feel of a retro classic.

Vikki Wakefield, author of THIS IS HOW WE CHANGE THE ENDING

A tense and atmospheric tale of childhood fears turned frighteningly real.

Sean Williams, author of HER PERILOUS MANSION

A delightfully creepy horror story for lower to middle secondary readers . . . Above all, this is a suspense-filled story that will enthral young readers who are interested in horror but are not quite ready for the likes of Stephen King.

What We All Saw is a story you may not want or be able to put down. It is gripping from start to finish.

This YA debut by South Australian author Mike Lucas will have readers on edge as they follow the frightening journey of the children to uncover the truth. A wonderful read.

Creepy and atmospheric, without feeling like a truly scary horror book, I really enjoyed the interwoven stories that pulled the history of the witch rumours together. The characters all had interesting backgrounds and the dynamics between them made their sometimes unlikely friendship the star of the story. There was plenty of witty banter to break up the seriousness of the situations they found themselves in too . . . I feel like this is a great intro to the Stephen King style horror for YA fans.
